Hotel Rural Vale Do Rio
About this stay
Hotel Rural Vale Do Rio occupies the rolling hills of Palmaz, five kilometres outside Oliveira de Azeméis, with a design inspired by the four elements and facilities that include a spa, a gym and an indoor heated pool inside its own health club. Rooms are fitted with designer furnishings and open onto private balconies over the countryside, while a Turkish steam bath and massage treatments round out the wellness offer. Part of the property's electricity comes from a hydroelectric station on the adjacent Caima River, supplemented by solar energy, and a library stocked with Portuguese novels gives guests a quiet indoor option between outdoor time. The HC Restaurant serves traditional specialities from Northern Portugal, with meals available on an outdoor terrace when the weather allows, and the setting sits within reach of São João da Madeira, Santa Maria da Feira and Aveiro for day trips across the wider region.
